TiVo is getting some press today. That USA Today article has some more info on the new HME features, I like the plans to add movie trailers to the Fandango feature. There are also articles in Reuters and CNet.

So basically it’s going to compete with Galleon a little. I hope Galleon can raise a the bar a little more, because I really like it.

Well, a lot, since it will automatically appear on all networked TiVos and there is nothing to download or install. And it has access to things not in Galleon, like Live365 music and Fandango movie listings including buying tickets from the TiVo.

There is some overlap with Galleon, but I would disable those Galleon modules and use these instead. Except, perhaps, weather – I like Galleon’s satellite imagery.

Well, I wonder if TiVo’s just going to ask the Weather Channel to use their sat images.

what galleon has that this doesn’t is the automatic downloading of shows. That’s the best feature IMHO

Agreed. I really like that feature. I only use it for one show, though.
